Response #20 avoids mention that WIN made abrupt changes in the intent of
the grant in the week before it had to be submitted, and that was what led
Arbornet to withdraw from the WIN project. Arbornet never did submit a
grant proposal of it's own, although the Board stated it's intention to do
so.
It *was* a fiasco on two of the three sides, and it should be buried.
Only one of the Board of Arbornet remains, and I can't imagine that person
wants to carry on a grudge after all this time.

What is HVCN's financial structure? Would Grex be included in this to
help support the heavier usage of Grex that would result? I think that at
least the respective "business plans" of the two organizations be considered
to see if any sharing of resources would be appropriate.

As we speak, Grex has more money than HVCN. HVCN is a 501(C)(3) with our
treasurer reports posted monthly on our website. HVCN membership is less
than Grex, at $25/year, and is also optional. We certainly would
ultimately need to find a way of sharing costs that we could both
afford. I can't promise HVCN funds to Grex to support this usage, since
users become Grex users when they do this. Still, if one day HVCN users
become a major source of dialup usage, HVCN would be supporting this
financially. Presumably it could afford to then.
Even if HVCN contributes money to it, I can't see HVCN wanting to run
its own parallel dial-up operation unless HVCN and Grex had come to a
parting of the ways philosphically.

[Me either. Admittedly I was only casually following the discussion on Grex
& had no other source of info.]

[I was on M-Net at the time, and I don't remember that being offered as a
justification for the change.]

[re: the subthread: Arbornet had opposed kiosks throughout our
discussions, but they showed up prominently in the grant proposal. That's
the main point that I recall.]

THat's true. A few objections were noted, but the overwhelming response is
favorable. I am in the process of reconfiguring HVCN's pages to reflect Grex
as our access point for the Community network.
